Crucial BX500 480 GB SSD review

Crucial announced their new BX500 series SSDs. They did so quite silently at first, the press releases are a little shy and perhaps too shy as Crucial might have created nice value SSD on SATA3 ever. Let's check it out, shall we?

I remember reading somewhere that it's not that uncommon. There was an article that commented about how long the information was stored depending on what temperature it was written and then stored, and the conclusion was something around hot writes and cold storage kept the nand memory's information longer. This was regarding SSD memory in general, not specific to the 840.
But that was a one-time thing. There is just no reason to assume your data gets corrupted, and I do assume you will power up the SSD every once in a while right?

Thank for the review Hilbert.
I ended up getting an MX500 because there was no 1TB version of this, do you know why?
I wanted a Samsung 970 Pro MLC M2 drive for my boot for reliability and speed and a 1TB 6GB SATA drive for games etc. Always been happy with Micron/Crucial stuff but would have preferred to offset the high cost of the 970Pro with the BX rather than MX.

I think this is aimed at entry level to replace the boot drive on laptops, PC and consoles.
I've been using an MX100 254GB for ages as my boot drive and I never had an issue with space.
But as you run in to speed limitations copying large files, I don't think you'd want to run into that as your archive drive.

That was what I was thinking of, whether the Samsung 840 problem still exists with today's SSD's.
I know that the newer samsung drives actively copy their data around the drive periodically, I was just wondering if all of the SSD's are immune now, or if there are still some "cheap" brands, that could be subject to this problem.
It can happen that i don't boot up some PC's for six months or more....and my Gaming PC is going that route at the moment. Its been off for at least a month now.
I think one of the drives in it is a Samsung 840 Evo actually.......
the other is an 850 Pro i think....
While interesting as a thesis - Why would you assume that data would get corrupted over time? There is no proof of that. Back in the day with the (I think it was) Samsung 840 there was an issue that performance degraded if you left the SSD off power for say 2-3 months. But that was a one-time thing. There is just no reason to assume your data gets corrupted, and I do assume you will power up the SSD every once in a while right?

Hmmm not bad, could be good for PS4 Pro with this price
